Just Fluff

This book is nothing little more than fluff - filler words, constant repetitive and very little to no actual education. Very disappointing.

Very Disappointed!

This book does absolutely nothing but talk in circles and gives you an overview of what you should learn in each chapter in advance beekeeping but teaches you absolutely nothing. if you enjoy listening to AI with their furthermore's and long way around speaking in circles you'll love this book. I found it to be a complete waste of time.

sounds like AI
